I am taking a break at Grand Cafe Loos in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

With the end of one year and the beginning of a new one now upon us, the typical response for many of us is to reflect on what’s transpired over these past 12 months, while at the same time looking ahead in anticipation of what’s to come in the new year. In the case of 2016, there seems to be a common consensus that this was a particularly bad year which many are glad to see come to an end.

Goodness isn’t really celebrated. Only greatness is. Great leaders aren’t just better at being good leaders. They’re in a class apart. To watch them work can be awe inspiring. They energize those who work for them, uproot complacency and can shock a failing group or company into success with their personality alone. Good leaders often protect the status quo.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

Leading today isn’t easy. Changes abound. We work virtually. We work globally. Our hierarchies are flatter. Our environments are more collaborative. On top of that, there are so many different models of leadership out there. We need the right balance between authority vs. autonomy, consensus vs. direct decision-making, and friendly vs. firm. Whether you’re new to management or a veteran leader, it can be overwhelming for many to think about all the different ways they can lead.

Guest post from Michael Bungay Stanier: For those in a leadership role, the responsibility to lead and direct employees falls to you. Let’s assume that your employees respect you, like you and feel that you’re leading them down a good path. You work hard and your workplace runs smoothly. But what if you could work a little less hard, positively change the way you lead and do it all by simply asking a few more questions and talking a little less — by creating a new habit?

You are in a leadership position, so you know that you have several duties to perform. And one of them is to improve your employees’ quality of work and life. Yes, you read it correctly: their quality of life as well. Many leaders will fail in this matter, as they think that they only have to care about what happens in the workplace. They do their best when it comes to delegating and supervising, and that is it.
